Chapter 3592 This Item Has a Spirit

into the night.

The aurora borealis reappeared on the horizon, a dreamlike spectacle.

Ye Chen once again led three beautiful women towards the aurora.

This time, Lin Wan'er packed a huge travel bag and asked Ye Chen to carry it for her. The weight of several dozen kilograms was negligible for Ye Chen, but it was still a bit strenuous for her to carry it through the snow.

Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu moved with the lightness of swallows. The thought that they might receive even stronger Buddhist hand seals tonight filled them with excitement.

Ye Chen also harbored expectations. Yesterday's handprint could indeed solve the breakthrough of spiritual energy from zero to one in the Dharma-ending Age, but it seemed rather useless to him. He could temporarily accept that Xiao Churan would leave him temporarily so that he could better take revenge, but how long she would leave depended entirely on his own fate.

If he is unable to break through and open the Niwan Palace for a long time, his revenge plan may not be completed for decades.

Although Ye Chen knew that Xiao Churan still loved him, he wasn't sure how long that love could last after they separated.

One or two years might be manageable, but three, five, or even eight or ten years is probably an unknown.

Therefore, Ye Chen desperately wanted a way to quickly improve his cultivation level. He hoped that all his hatred with the Po Qing Society and Wu Feiyan could be completely resolved within the next five years.

Under the aurora, the three sat cross-legged, looking up at the sky. Lin Wan'er stayed by Ye Chen's side, taking out a folding egg roll table and a folding moon chair from the travel bag Ye Chen had brought for her. After setting them up, she took out a small charcoal stove and a cast iron kettle, using the lid of the kettle to shovel the snow that no one had touched on the ground into the kettle little by little.

Then, she took out a handful of charcoal made from olive pits, dropped a small piece of solid alcohol into it, and lit a small fire by striking the night sky with a match.

With water boiling on the stove, she took out a travel tea set and carefully placed it on the table.

It's clear she intends to use snow to boil water for tea.

Ye Chen admired her; she was always calm and composed, and she never forgot her beloved leisure and elegance.

A pot of snow melts and boils, and the boiling water then brews a piece of Pu'er tea, releasing its aroma. Meanwhile, the aurora in the sky shows no sign of changing into a handprint.

Ye Chen was surprised. Could it be that this mysterious thing only had that set of hand seals that were useful last night?

Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu were also somewhat puzzled, but they both knew that opportunities could not be forced or spoken of recklessly, so they remained silent.

Lin Wan'er broke the silence first. She poured four cups of tea and then said softly, "Young master, the handprint has not appeared today. Has something happened?"

Ye Chen's face turned extremely ugly, and he muttered, "It shouldn't be anything unexpected. I suspect that this bastard won't act until he sees something."

Lin Wan'er asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that, young master?"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "The first time, it suddenly conjured eight hand seals, which drained almost all of my spiritual energy. The second time was yesterday, after I cast those eight hand seals again and consumed most of my spiritual energy, the aurora conjured a second set of sixteen hand seals. So I suspect that it wants me to give it spiritual energy first, which is to say, it wants me to pay first before it will deliver the goods."

As he spoke, Ye Chen told her, "When I was in seclusion with Miss Yun and Miss Song today, I deliberately passed on those eight hand seals to them the first time. After they used them, they didn't experience any effect. However, every time I fully circulated those eight hand seals, a large amount of spiritual energy was lost from my body. Therefore, I am even more convinced that the thing is inside my body. Moreover, the first time it passed on those eight hand seals to me, it was to make me pass on my spiritual energy to it. Yesterday, I also gave it spiritual energy first before it passed on the useful hand seals to me. I think this is a transaction."

"This..." Lin Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, then the thing inside your body also needs a lot of spiritual energy."

At this point, she added with some confusion, "But if this thing is really inside your body, and can absorb spiritual energy from it, why doesn't it absorb it directly? Why does it require you to make a specific hand seal to absorb it? And what's strange is that it taught you this hand seal. It's as if it could take it directly, but it insists that you give it to it. How strange."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Thinking about it this way, it really is a bit unnecessary."

Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Young Master, do you still remember that during the first aurora, the aurora initially transformed into the Buddhist swastika?"

"Of course I remember." Ye Chen nodded and said, "I even joked at the time that if you looked at it from the sky, the mirrored swastika would look just like the Nazi symbol."

Lin Wan'er said excitedly, "So it seems that no matter who or what the thing inside the young master is, it must be related to Buddhism! Since it comes from Buddhism, it must follow the rules and regulations of Buddhism. Just like monks begging for alms, they can only accept alms if the donor gives them to them. If the donor leaves it there unattended, they would rather starve than take it without asking. It seems that the thing inside the young master is the same. Even if it can directly absorb spiritual energy from the young master's body, the rules of Buddhism also prohibit it from doing so. So it can only take a roundabout way and get the young master to give it to it voluntarily."

Ye Chen complained, "They didn't explain the numbers four, five, and six clearly to me the first time, causing me to lose so much spiritual energy without even knowing it. That doesn't seem very fair."

Lin Wan'er said helplessly, "What else does the young master want from it? It can't speak. The only thing it can do is change the aurora to convey information to the young master. And it doesn't just take."

Ye Chen nodded: "That's true."

Lin Wan'er sighed, "If it's really as we speculated, then this thing might have a spirit..."

Ye Chen said dejectedly, "Whether it really has spiritual power or not, we'll know once we try it."

After saying that, he took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill and reluctantly put it into his mouth.

After the Peiyuan Pill released its surging spiritual energy, Ye Chen calmed down and began to circulate the eight hand seals once more.

Like hand seals, they must be in the correct order to be effective. Today, he used the sequence 1234 and 8765, which disrupted the ending of the hand seals and therefore had no effect.

When he made the first four hand seals again, the golden pagoda in his sea of ​​consciousness resurfaced. Unfortunately, Ye Chen could not sense its existence, nor could he see the mottled cracks covering its body.

If you ignore its proportions, this pagoda looks like an ancient building that has been weathered by time and looks somewhat shaky and on the verge of collapse. If it stood in an ancient temple, it would probably have been reinforced and protected as a cultural relic long ago.

When the pagoda surfaced, it paused slightly, seemingly worried that Ye Chen would trick it again, so it subconsciously paused for a moment.

Immediately afterward, as Ye Chen correctly executed the entire set of hand seals, the spiritual energy in his sea of ​​consciousness surged into the pagoda.

At that moment, the pagoda burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the countless cracks on its body began to repair themselves at a visible speed. The pagoda's overall size also seemed to have increased slightly as a result.

However, Ye Chen's spiritual energy was also limited. After nearly 90% of the spiritual energy in his body was absorbed by the pagoda, there were still many cracks on the pagoda that had not been repaired.

Ye Chen's spiritual energy was rapidly depleted, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He was originally not afraid of the cold at all, but when the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.

However, this also made him more clear-headed.

So he looked up and stared intently at the aurora in the sky, hoping that the mysterious thing would give him some fair feedback.

Just then, the aurora that was swinging wildly in the sky suddenly changed. The light spots that were like particles quickly converged, and a pair of giant hands reappeared in the night sky!
